Th© report of the discussion on live stock at tho Economic Conference on Friday shows that Sir Robert Sanders declared that having regard to th© importance of safeguarding the interests of British breeders, and tli© export trade in pedigree stock, the Government would not feel justified in doing more than undertake to introduce legislation to facilitate the exchange of ; pedigree stock throughout the Empire on reciprocal termsj subject always to eatisfaccory precautions against the introduction of disease. EXHIBITS AT WEMBLEY. Mr Bruce and Mr Massey stressed Australia’s and New Zealand’s practical freedom from cattlo disease. Mr Mascey pointed out that New Zealand was not interested in th© shipment of live stock to England, except stud stock, owing to tho length of the voyage. Th© Duk© of Devonshire, replying to Mr Maasey, said he undertook that the owners of any live stock sent to the Empire Exhibition should afterwards be abl© to dispose of them to tho best possible advantage. Mr H. Burton welcomed Sir Robecrt Sandora’s promise to facilitate the exchange of pedigree stock, saying ho was of tho opinion that it would be of considerable value to South Africa.
